Looking Back: The Ultimate Stress Test for FirstNet

Looking Back: The Ultimate Stress Test for FirstNet

The past year has been challenging for first responders and healthcare workers. It’s also been the ultimate stress test for FirstNet. America’s first responders battled severe wildfires, the COVID-19 pandemic and one of the most active hurricane seasons on record in 2020. They are now on the frontlines of our nationwide vaccination efforts.

You are invited to the AT&T Policy Forum for a live discussion on how FirstNet has supported public safety operations over the past year. Ed Parkinson, CEO, First Responder Network Authority, will lead a conversation with Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH), Ranking Member of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. A panel discussion will follow, featuring public safety leaders.
